I Can't Have What I Had : Formal Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


In-Tense (Paul McCann)
 

This is an original structure I created which moves from past tense to present tense and back to past tense in the storyline or theme .

My Example

I Can't Have What I Had 
By Paul McCann

 

I had drugs .
I had pubs.
I had girls on call .

I had fought .
I had thought ,
I had done it all.

I had burned .
I had turned .
I had to atone .
 

I was gone .
I was wrong .
I was on my own .

I had lost all I had then I got it back .

 
I have faith
I am safe .
I have earned respect  .

I have fun .
I have won .
I have worked it out  .


I have found .
I am bound .
I have no more doubt .

I am glad .
I have had all other things added.

I have found my life when I lost all I had .
